"This is an old recording that I picked up in Venezuela in 1971. It was unusual at the time in that in featured the compositions of Juan Vicente Torreabla, all strongly rooted in the Venezuelan tradition but here played on two harps instead of one but with the usual accompaniment of cuatro and maracas. The second harp was played by the then young protege of Torrealba, Gustavo Enrique Vera. This has long been one of my favorites and not finding it anywhere currently for sale I decided to convert it to MP3 files from the original LP." -Robert Garfias

Welcome to Ghostcapital. This blog is an effort to share the love of rare, under-appreciated and oddball music of many kinds. I offer album rips, gratis- mostly from vinyl. Sometimes other stuff, too. If you have an issue with your music being here, then kindly let me know. I strongly encourage everyone to purchase good albums from your favorite independent retailer. Real, brick & mortar record stores are truly where its at. Dig it.
